Куда обращаться, когда всё сложно? — лекция о федерализме в Германии

There will be many examples from real life - about Jobcenter, Ausländerbehörde, Jugendamt, schools, crisis centers and everything we face.

🇩🇪 Where to turn when everything is difficult? - open lecture on federalism in Germany

🗓 December 11, Thursday, 19:00

📍 Quarteera Community Center Berlin

➡️ Registration

We constantly encounter the German state - in letters, in queues, in absurd (sometimes) demands.

And every time questions arise:

Where do we go when everything goes wrong? To whom? Which office? Who is responsible anyway?

📚In this lecture we will put (almost) everything into pieces!

What we will talk about:

🔹how the Bund, Länder and Kommunen differ - and why these are not just three words, but three different levels of power;

🔹why your land decides so much (even what seems to be a “federal matter”);

🔹who influences migration decisions, and who influences schools, housing and the police;

🔹what is the Bundesrat and how can it “stop” any law;

🔹where to complain if the department made a mistake;

🔹how in Germany the path of any problem goes - from the office in the district to the Constitutional courts.

There will be many examples from real life - about Jobcenter, Ausländerbehörde, Jugendamt, schools, crisis centers and everything that each and every one of us faces.

Why is this important:

🔸Because when you don’t understand who makes the decision, it seems that the system is chaotic and is meaningless.

🔸And also because federalism in Germany is not just a “story about the lands”, but a real mechanism for protecting against the concentration of power.

Format: Live conversation + analysis of situations + a little bit of law

You can come without preparation!

❗️Not private consultation.
